Toronto, ON – The Canadian Hockey League in association with the Ontario Hockey League, the Peterborough Petes, and the Kingston Frontenacs hockey clubs today announced the Team OHL rosters for the 2014 SUBWAY® Super Series. Attack Captain Zach Nastasiuk and defenseman Chris Bigras have been named to play in both games.

Team OHL will compete against the Russian National Junior Team in Game 3 of the series in Peterborough on Thursday November 13 with Game 4 to be played in Kingston on Monday November 17. The series also includes two games in the WHL prior to both OHL games, and ends with the two games hosted by the QMJHL.

32 players, including Bigras and Nastasiuk have been selected to represent the OHL in the 2014 SUBWAY® Super Series including 14 players who attended Canada's National Junior Team Summer Development Camp led by forward Connor McDavid of the Erie Otters and defenceman Chris Bigras of the Owen Sound Attack who represented Canada at the 2014 IIHF World Junior Championship. Other Summer Development Camp attendees named to Team OHL include forwards Nick Baptiste of the Sudbury Wolves, the Guelph Storm trio of Tyler Bertuzzi, Robby Fabbri, and Jason Dickinson, Michael Dal Colle of the Oshawa Generals, Max Domi of the London Knights, the Attack's Zach Nastasiuk, Nick Paul of the North Bay Battalion, and the Petes' Nick Ritchie. Team OHL defencemen that attended camp include the Storm's Ben Harpur, the Frontenacs' Roland McKeown, and Darnell Nurse of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.

Ritchie is one of three Petes who will compete before the home crowd in Game 3 of the series alongside forward Hunter Garlent and defenceman Matthew Spencer. McKeown is also one of three Frontenacs represented in Game 4 of the series joined by forwards Lawson Crouse and Spencer Watson.

Head coach for Team OHL will be Scott Walker of the Guelph Storm who is also an assistant coach with Canada's National Junior Team for the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championship. Walker has been the head coach of the Storm for four seasons leading the team to an OHL championship last season. This marks his third time behind the bench for the SUBWAY® Super Series following participation in 2011 and 2012. With Hockey Canada's Program of Excellence, Walker won a gold medal at the 2012 Memorial of Ivan Hlinka tournament with Canada's National Men's Summer Under-18 Team where he served as an assistant coach. The native of Cambridge, ON, also won a bronze medal as an assistant coach with Canada's National Junior Team at the 2012 IIHF World Junior Championship.

The Team OHL rosters were assembled by a Selection Committee that includes Attack General Manager Dale DeGray, and Storm General Manager Mike Kelly. Both DeGray and Kelly worked in consultation with Hockey Canada Head Scout Ryan Jankowski.

In 11 years of competition against the Russian National Junior Team, the OHL has a record of 19-2-1 in this series following a 5-2 loss in Oshawa and a 3-2 shootout loss in Sudbury last season.
